Executive Chairman at ClearBank Nick Ogden said,

“Ecology is an ideal partner for us at ClearBank – their values and track record in delivering innovative solutions fit well within our own aspirations. ClearBank was built specifically to create competition and aims to change the market dynamics radically after many years of consolidation. “
